Re: New photos on Getty Images

"Poor Randy didn't even make it 3 minutes, before he had to stop and was gasping for air due to his heavy smoking habit." Yep. Read the same thing in the Rosen - Randy Rhoads book!! He might have been skinny and seemed healthy, but the smoking of the Winstons really were compromising his l...

Re: Randy Rhoads Guitar Collection

Finished the book in it's entirety the other day. Loved it and the photos and comments. The injected fluff was meh. Peter or whoever is definitely not righter and just looking for filler material. They put soo much in, I'm surprised the one thing that was not was the accident and autopsy report! The...

Re: Randy Rhoads Guitar Collection

WOW!!!! Book arrived yesterday and it is the quintessential book on Randy Rhoads! Every photo you can think of and stories are in here and a MUST HAVE for any Rhoads fan. Don't care about all the drama and what happened. Not sure of all the negativity toward it. So far, it paints Randy in the clouds...

Re: pictures of Randy's pedalboard

"You have to record and post some clips when you have the entire rig completed and ready to go?!"

Absolutely! That's the plan!!

Probably make a few phone calls and get some amazing players lay down some clips with me as I will!! :)

Re: pictures of Randy's pedalboard

The Flying Dutchman - "it's by far not enough to copy only his pedalboard settings when not having the exact entire rig" Yep! And that's why I now have EVERYTHING to complete his rig when the pedalboard is done! I have the guitar (real 72-75 LPC) with the Super 74 pickups with Alnico III p...

Re: pictures of Randy's pedalboard

Shockwave I know you're hot and hard about believing the photos to be authentic and PCBs and nt taken out of the enclosures and just epoxied in or whatnot....BUT, it doesn't make sense! For 1 - The family left comments for the artifacts including pedalboard and they said the PCB's are taken out of t...

Re: pictures of Randy's pedalboard

Hey guys Just wanted to report that I went to the RARHOF yesterday again! I took my new Nikon P950 camera and took a bunch of photos. The cell photos were actually better than with the automatic settings on the Nikon(just got it the day before, so still need to figure it out fully), but with the fla...

Re: Randy Rhoads Guitar Collection

Could you be more specific and post the link to the book you're referring to?!?

Re: Randy Rhoads Guitar Collection

With Randy now inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, they have his original Jackson Concord as well as pedalboard (among other things) on display. My question is: Has Randy's actual original Les Paul ever been on display?? I wonder if it will be? I'd love to get some Hi-Def photos of it and ...

Re: pictures of Randy's pedalboard

Yep! Pete Mertons is gone. Pete Holmes?!?? tbd. and he is the one that made the pedalboard, not Cornish and all contained in Bob's (Daisley) book along with the fact it cost 2000 pounds!

Re: pictures of Randy's pedalboard

Looking forward to finishing my pedalboard this week and see if I need to troubleshoot or anything, but should be getting it done this week (but I said that many times...ugh, just soo busy). Not sure if I communicated also, but not only the pedalboard, but had a custom flight case made also!! So, wi...

Re: pictures of Randy's pedalboard

Appreciate the link. It suggests the electronics had a resin or gooping. As a tech and engineer, I get it and that actually just reinforce the fact the pedal electronics were taking out of the enclosures! The goop helps to keep things in place. Besides the 14 standard screws that hold the top of Ran...
